i had to mod mine a little bit to get them to fit. the tweeter stuck out too far and was hitting the gear that rolls down the window. i have manual windows and locks, so i just used some washers and spaced it out a little from the door so that it wouldnt hit. also the plug from my stockers did match the one on these. so i just chopped it off and soldered my wires on. a little bit of work, but i cant complain. they sound much better and were really cheap

 

Mine should be here today. Here are some instructions/pics I did for the '04+ Supercab speaker access and removal:

Just finished installing them....as mentioned simple plug and play - very easy to do.

I'm extremely satisfied with them, a big improvement over stock for under $20

 

I have to say that I finally got some alone time in the truck and they do sound better than stock. I forgot that I disconnected the radio a couple of weeks back and I neglected to adjust the audio settings. Sounds much better now if nothing else a much fuller sound than stock.

Wonder how many they sold because of this thread? Thanks again, styxnpicks.

 

I ordered 4 of them and they arrived today. I just put in the two front one for now and they sound pretty good. More highs, which is what the old ones were lacking. I am think about NOT installing the rear ones and just leaving the originals in. It sounds good now. What to you guys think? If I put the two in the back will I loose all my bass?

These are good sounding speakers @ a great price. Thanks!!!

 

What bass?

I think the new speakers handle the bass better than the stockers. I didnt change my rear ones either.

 

I had so much bass that, when cranked, my mirrors would vibrate badly. Bass you could feel. I lost some of that when I install the two ways in the front but gained highs. It is rumored that the 04 had better sounding radios than the 05+'s. Ford changed radio vendors in 2005.

 

Installed mine yesterday. It was simple. There is a slight improvement in sound quality. Have to turn it up a little louder to get the same volume it seems but for $30, I'm happy with the results. Now I can use the stock speakers in the garage with my old home receiver.

Thanks Styx!

 

Thats what I'm saving mine for as well. I have everything I need...except for the garage.

You'll need to run those in series if your home based reciever is set for 8 ohms and not 4 ohm capable. You'll have 2 speakers running off each channel for 2 total channels but still have stereo. No matter what its rated for, the reciever will probably handle the 4 ohm load until you crank it a bit. Then it'll probably go into failsafe.

 

It'll handle it fine. I'm running it now with some old blown Kenwood 6x9's. It'll blow the hell out of the speakers before it shuts down. I probably will run them in series though as you stated just so that they might live longer.

 

I ordered 4 and popped in the front two in like 5 minutes, then when i got to the back i realized that it wasn't as easy as the front. Does anyone know the trick to replace the back two w/o cracking my door panel? Thanks

 

If you are willing to drive an hour, Ill do it for you...

 

without a sub?

 

I dont have a sub. But my factory speakers were different than the ones picture by hllonwheels. Mine had a different Ford part number and were stamped made in USA. I left the original back two in and it gave me a nice mix. I may have gotten better sound by adding a pair of componet tweeters and keeping my four originals. but this was plug and play easy and cheap.

 

Rear door panels come off easy. There is a thread on here about it with pictures. Took about 10 min a side.
